Add a Webhooks v2 event trigger for restoring a file version
If a file version is restored (via the webapp or API), there is no associated event trigger that captures this action. If an admin is monitoring a file for changes, no webhook is triggered for this action.
7 votesThis is not currently planned. We will consider it with additional use cases and customer demand.

Clarify in collaborators list which users are active and inactive
Our admin accidentally transferred data from an account to a deactivated account causing collaborators to temporarily lose access.
She pointed out that she could not tell from the list of collaborators which users were deactivated that have something like that would have prevented her from making that mistake.
7 votesThank you for the request! If we hear this from additional users, we will consider this again.

Bulk assign metadata attributes to multiple folders/files at one time
We were a previous heavy user of tags and our users enjoyed the ability to assign tags to multiple files at once in the old UI.
Because they have tens of thousands of users deployed, they often have the same attribute needed to be assigned to many files.
7 votesWhile we recognize the importance of this feature, it is not something we plan to introduce in the near term. We will certainly keep this in mind for future roadmap inclusion and we will keep the status of this request updated to accurately reflect our current position.

True versioning with Office Integrations
Our users are in Office online documents for several hours as they are working on legal documents. What this does is creates hundreds of versions of one document due to the auto-save feature and eliminates the benefits of versioning because the versions saved are not true versions.
It makes it difficult to see what the previous changes were that the other user made. We need true versioning for forensic value for our legal documents.
7 votesWe understand the request, but unfortunately this is not on the near-term roadmap.

Move "Log in" green banner when viewing shared link while not signed into Box
If you view a shared link while you're not signed into Box, you'll see a green banner at the top: "Log in to Box to securely share, edit, and collaborate on files in real-time with other people." The banner blocks the "Download" button on the right. While there is an X to close the banner, there are two issues:
1) Less tech-savvy people don't know to close the banner and can't figure out how to download
2) Others may think you need a Box account in order to access the contentIt would be helpful to either move the banner…

Present metadata more prominent when selecting a file from a folder file list
Metadata will be shown for a selected file in the lowest level of the Details area. Practically no user knows that metadata exists for that file. So metadata should be presented more prominent, or get an extra area.

Show "editing" or "active" icon next to the filename in file list
Similar to "lock" icon displayed next to the filename, display editing or active icon when someone is touching or editing the file.
This may be similar feature as file "presence" feature, but the user would be able to figure it out from the list of files.7 votes -
True 'Select All' - Expand 'Select All' Beyond Just the Current Page of a Folder
REQUEST: Add an option for 'True' Select All such that when a user performs a Select All (via command+a / control+a), they have a new option to also select all items in the current folder, not just the ones on that current page.
BACKGROUND: When folders have a lot of items, there can be many pages and pages of items. The webapp's current 'Select All' functionality ONLY allows users to select all items from the given page (which is only 20 items for most users since the 'items per page' default is 20, though users can manually increase it to…

Collaborators Page - Add 'Common Folders' Column Back to Page
In Legacy, the Collaborators page had a column called "Common Folders" that told me (as a user) which folders I was collaborating in with the given user.
In Amsterdam, this column was removed, meaning the page only tells me WHO I'm collaborating with, but not WHERE I'm collaborating with them (aka in which folders)...which makes the page FAR less useful.
REQUEST: Add the 'Common Folders' (or something similar) column back to the Collaborators page so that the page can tell me both
1. Who I'm collaborating with across my entire account
AND
2. Where I'm collaborating with each user (aka…7 votesInteresting feature request! However, we’re not able to prioritize it at this time due to competing priorities.

Folder Settings: Add 'automatically remove invited collaborators' at the folder level (user defined)
Currently, "Automatically remove invited collaborators" can be set up only in Admin Console -> Enterprise Settings, but some customers are requesting to set up in Folder Settings (meaning at the folder level) because it enables more granular security settings.
7 votesThe usability complexity of this feature would not be worth the small benefit it would provide to a small minority of users.I would suggest instead instead using the existing workaround of Shared Link Expiration.
